The defending champions put an end to their two-game winless run when they defeated Bangladesh in their last encounter. West Indies will be aiming to build on that result and register a victory against Sri Lanka as they still have an outside chance of making it into the semi-finals as the final game with Australia could be the decider.

Meanwhile, Sri Lanka have been knocked out of the competition as they have lost three consecutive games after their opening day win against Bangladesh. However, considering it was a first World T20 for most of the players, Dasun Shanaka’s squad have done well to give a great account of themselves and will aim to end the competition on a high note.

West Indies will be happy with their performance in the previous game against Bangladesh and will be aiming to replicate a similar kind of display to keep their semi-final hopes alive. Meanwhile, Sri Lanka despite losing three back-to-back games, have been unlucky to be on the losing end of some very close fixtures.
